Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is now an essential instrument that aids in engineering
decision-making. Statistical model calibration and validation has recently drawn great …

Viscoelastic dampers (VEDs) have attracted significant attention during the last decades,
due to their enormous potential in vibration control for building structures. However, owing to …

Energy harvesting (EH) technologies to power small sized electronic devices are attracting
great attention. Wasted energy in a vehicle's rotating tire has a great potential to enable self …

Reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) requires the evaluation of probabilistic
constraints (or reliability), which can be very time consuming. Therefore, a practical solution …

In this paper, the forced vibrations of the fractional viscoelastic beam with the Kelvin-Voigt
fractional order constitutive relationship is studied. The equation of motion is derived from …

This paper proposes a methodology for sampling-based design optimization in the presence
of interval variables. Assuming that an accurate surrogate model is available, the proposed …

The modal stability procedure is combined with Monte-Carlo simulations to estimate the
variability of natural frequencies and damping ratios of frequency dependent visco-elastic …

In practice, the uncertain parameters whose unique distributions cannot be identified on the
basis of limited data existed in the structural-acoustic system extensively. The uncertain …

In this paper, a frequency-labeled adaptive sparse grid collocation (FL-ASGC) method is
proposed to study the uncertainty quantification (UQ) of the frequency response of general …

In this paper, a model validation framework is proposed and applied to a large vibro-
acoustic finite element (FE) model of a passenger car. The framework introduces a p-box …
